The Party of 11-year olds (may be overestimating)

While discussing a bill that would erode the availability
of abortion, Reps. Barb Byrum and Lisa Brown introduced an amendment to
apply the same regulations to vasectomies that GOP lawmakers wanted to
add to abortion services. The debate grew heated, as Republicans sought
to gravel down the women. Byrum was not permitted to speak in favor of
the measure and Brown was repeatedly interrupted. “I’m flattered that
you want to get in my vagina, but no means no,” she said.

What really drove the GOP crazy was the word "vagina". I like broad
sweeping analogies as much as the next person, so I'm guessing the GOP
males who lead the Michigan House have not spent a lot of time
contemplating lady parts. It's just wham, bam, thank you ALEC.

After losing the special election in Arizona to succeed
Gabrielle Giffords in Congress, two-time Republican candidate Jesse
Kelly has announced that he is dropping out of the race for a full term
in November.

“I would like to thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my wife
Aubrey, and our supporters for their unwavering commitment to the values
that make America great,” Kelly said in a statement.
